We have a wonderful, sweet, kind, squirrelly 9 going on 10yr old boy. Often patient and thoughtful, he picks his moments to verbally "poke" his family members by mocking or making a joke out of everything they say. This goes over really well with younger siblings and tired parents. As a form of rebuttal we occasionally blame him for things totally unrelated. For example, the Blackhawks let a goal in, we would yell, "Damn You Aden!" It starts pouring rain, "Damn You Aden!" Fortunately, this makes him giggle and smile. Clearly our family has issues. Overtime, he observed that "Damn You Aden" sounded a lot like "Daniel Aden!" Thus, in order to continue abusing our child without the world knowing and judging, we started saying, "Daniel!" instead---generating the same internal giggles without all the bad looks.
As our journey continued, we found yet another way to "play" with our eldest. After being on this earth 9+ years, he knows pretty much everything. So we've decided to use no other source for our information. Got a question? He's got the answer. Thus the name "Daniel Google" was born.
"Daniel Google, what time is checkout?"
"Um. I'm pretty sure it's 12pm."
"Daniel Google, is it going to rain?"
" I think it will later."
"Daniel Google, are there tolls on this route?"
"I don't think so."
I think I may make magnets or bumper stickers that say "I 'heart' Daniel Google" as a tribute to nine yr old boys everywhere. They are truly magical.
